<br/><br/> To support healthcare workers in their daily work, our mobile palliative care team offers and leads support groups either on a regular basis or on demand. However, we have identified another means of support: backstage support. Our listening capacity is specific to our mobile status; while we move from one place to the other for difficult end-of-life situations, it is not only directed to the palliative approach but also toward healthcare workers’ own sufferings. In this article we will present the original framework for this type of support.
